About this map

The Bay Minette southern outskirts and the rural surrounding Baldwin County landscape are documented in this 1980s-era revision. The area shows a transition from the municipal hub—home to Faulkner State Jr College and the Vocational Sch—to the scattered farming communities of Whitehouse Forks, Carpenter, and Crossroads. The Seaboard System railroad tracks cut through the terrain, serving the local industrial needs reflected in several Claypit sites along the corridor.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family and local history markers, including Honeycut Cem, Johnson Cem, and Dean Cem. Rural spiritual life is anchored by established congregations at New Hope Ch, Bethlehem Ch, and Whitehouse Ch. The hydrological network is defined by the winding paths of Whitehouse Creek and Bay Minette Creek, while the Styx River forms a significant boundary on the eastern edge of the sheet.
